Living as I do on the site of an old prison, I've always wondered what they would do with the old cell blocks. These cell blocks are classified by the National Trust, so they cant be demolished or modified, so what do they do with them? Apart from using them for film sets for TV shows & movies there isn't a lot of scope.

So I was surprised when they decided to hold a Sunday market there, allowing the public to see what the interior of the cell block, & cells, is like. To say the cells are small is an understatement - my kitchen is bigger that the cell, each was roughly 2m by 3m, and they were in use until the prison was decommissioned in the late 1990's.
